Born in 1812, the twentieth child of a stockbroker, Edward Lear is known for his Nonsense rhymes, particularly the "Owl" and the "Pussycat". This biography offers an insight into the life of this immensely talented and deliciously eccentric man who travelled extensively but found that love and a settled home life eluded him.
